Regal soprano ukulele, late 1940s
Get yourself on the big uke revival bandwagon! Everywhere you turn these days, every new band around seems to haul out a ukulele for at least one number in their set. Just Guitars favorites such as Sarah Carroll and Sweet Delores feature ukulele extensively, and with this awesome little Regal soprano model, you too can join the big name uke players.
We believe this nice little soprano model comes from maybe a year or two earlier than the Regal “Rich Wood” Mahogany unit that we sold recently – perhaps around 1947/48. One hundred percent original, this one is all Maple, so the tone is sweeter, and with a tad more projection. The one-piece Maple neck boasts a lightly lacquered board, with 12 thinline Brass frets. The nut is Ebony, the bridge is Rosewood, and we’ve just set it up with a new set of D’Addario J53 Black Nylon strings, and she sings beautifully!
The lovely, subtle Sunburst finish, features a stylish deco design around the soundhole, and the headstock displays the stylish, full-color, Regal crown logo decal. Aside from the small patch of light play wear on the down side of the soundhole, (see arrowed area in pic # 6), this lovely little soprano uke is in extra fine condition, and ready to blow the crowd away at your next gig.
An easy player, with lovely bright tone, rock-solid, vintage American construction, this great Regal uke is already fantastic value-for-money, but we’re adding on the Just Guitars bonus of a brand new, deluxe hard-shell case at no extra cost!
